ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL189-1b; FRL-7213-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois
AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Proposed rule.
SUMMARY:
EPA proposes to approve revisions to particulate matter control requirements for rural grain elevators in Illinois. On April 8, 1999, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency submitted section 9 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (as revised by Public Act 89-491) as a requested revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP). The requested SIP revision exempts rural grain elevators from certain particulate matter control requirements. An air quality modeling analysis was conducted to show that this rule change would not cause or contribute to violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10).
DATES:
EPA must receive written comments on this proposed rule by June 28, 2002.
ADDRESSES:
You should mail written comments to:Patricia Morris, Acting Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air ProgramsBranch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 WestJackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

We are proposing to approve section 9 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (as revised by Public Act 89-491) as a revision to the Illinois SIP. The revised Illinois Environmental Protection Act exempts rural grain elevators from particulate matter control requirements contained in Section 212.462 of Title 35 of the Illinois AdministrativeCode (35 IAC 212.462). An air quality modeling analysis showed that the requested SIP revision would not cause or contribute to violations of PM10NAAQS.
